nothing in between the computer and monitor - it’s just plugged straight in. my current guess is that some step of pacman’s install/update process changes something that also gets changed by something else (DE, config file, idk) after the boot.

could you elaborate?
i’ve been just dealing with this problem for an embarrassing amount of time now, and have gone through several version updates of the nvidia drivers with this problem persisting. i’ve also tried reinstalling the nvidia drivers with no change.
no unfortunately god’s intended resolution is just slippin right into my arch install uninvited
that’s worth checking - i don’t have a spare DP cable on hand to test, but you may be onto something.
previously, i tried unplugging and replugging the cable on the PC end, as well as trying other ports, to no avail.
just now, i tried replugging the end plugged into the monitor a few times and was able to reproduce the resolution issue a single time. this honestly just confuses me more though, because why would it happen only one time out of several cycles doing the exact same thing?
i’m gonna get another cable just to be sure but that wont be for a few days at least.
while i appreciate the effort, this has no effect on my issue. also maybe worth noting, i am using grub but not nomodeset. i toggled it on just to see if it would do anything but the problem persists.
if you look at my xrandr output on the first boot, the main problem is that it cannot see any other mode except 640x480 and running xrandr --output DP-0 --mode 1920x1080
fails. i cannot change it using plasma’s display settings gui or xrandr in any way - the only way i know how to get access to the other resolution/rate settings of that monitor is by rebooting.
i want and try to be but i don’t succeed every day. i hate thinking about those times when i don’t succeed, but being mindful of those times is a big part of what i can do to succeed more often.
this is the correct response.
get it in writing that they accept the risk that comes with not upgrading so it can’t come back on you. all you can do is CYA and make recommendations - if management does not agree with your recommendations make sure you have it documented that you informed whoever is making the decision of the risk.
if you think your employer will somehow still try to hold you accountable for this, save the aforementioned correspondence using something your employer does not manage i.e. a personal device. you could also let other people than this specific individual know about this so it isn’t just your word vs his.
it really is crazy how different it feels to use a linux pc after being conditioned to think that windows is just how using a computer is. the way i relate it to my friends is that using windows feels like i’m constantly compromising with the computer, but using linux i own my computer and it works for me - not the other way around.
i wouldn’t trust a company who would enable this by default to allow users to TRULY completely disable it. much like how you can only opt out of the telemetry options they allow you to.
right up my alley, thank you!
trackmania has that in common with basically all speedrunning streams/content. super nice to have in the background since it can be repetitive and you can pay attention if they get a good run going :)
and there are people who speedrun probably every game you’ve ever enjoyed, so there is plenty of options!
factorio is one of the best automation games ever, and also has just about any quality of life feature you could think to add to a game.
i’m in my first ever modded playthrough with space exploration and i’m blown away by the increase in complexity. the vanilla game is great but the mods are definitely worth trying if you want an exponential jump in complexity.
yeah i’ve basically never had an issue that wasn’t my fault for tinkering with something that is either unstable or that i didn’t understand well enough.
i will say that rolling releases like arch can introduce system-breaking issues (it happened to me like twice in the 3 years i’ve been running arch, but man it sucks when it happens) so users who aren’t so into tweaking and messing with their systems should probably opt for something more stable.
just gave it a go, unfortunately it errored out and i dont have time to troubleshoot atm
appreciate the suggestion though!
i upgraded last night! and when i booted up this morning, i was unable to log into any accounts in the login screen lol. if anyone else has a similar issue where the only option login screen gives you is wayland and that doesnt work for you or you want to use x11, what fixed it for me was installing plasma-meta
as for whatever reason that wasn’t on my system at the time. this allowed me to select x11 again from the login screen and my system is working as normal.
i know we’re still in early days of plasma 6, but does anyone know any good calendar/weather/time widgets that i can replace this one with? https://store.kde.org/p/998901/ haven’t found another good calendar widget yet.
me too! i stuck with mine quite a bit longer, but it ended up in the box all the same. there are very few good vr games that don’t have that tech demo-y format lots of early titles had. and valve’s promises of linux support were quite exaggerated, which made playing the couple games i kept coming back to even less convenient or just a worse experience. i stopped playing half life alyx halfway through, and came back and i couldn’t get it to run on my linux pc anymore - like, thats the single game/hardware combo valve promised would 100% work on linux.
its kinda sad because i really believed in consumer vr back then, but seeing how the industry has stagnated has shown that either it isn’t possible or we aren’t ready for cheap, good, open vr. nobody is making good vr games because there are no users and there are no users because its too expensive to get a good vr rig and there are no games.
just picked up embroidery and knitting, been lots of fun making things for myself and i know what my friends are getting for next christmas lol
i have a backpacking bidet (culo clean specifically) and I would say it gives mixed results. basically, you need to practice and develop a technique to “get the most” out of it in terms of water usage, how clean you can get, etc. I don’t have a normal bidet so i have nothing to compare it with and maybe my technique isnt so good. mine gets me mostly clean but i still need a square of toilet paper to make sure in almost every case. better than not having it, but not the results I was hoping for.
came here to post almost exactly this. it’s pretty interesting and rare seeing someone questioning this sort of thing outside of a dedicated asexual community. i’m glad lemmy has people like you who are welcoming and well-informed!
saturday is factorio night! gotta improve oil processing and fix some train deadlocks (assuming all 4 of us log on, a herculean feat)
